Explorer does not work after installing windows xp
I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to my
rather serious problem. After upgrading my computer from windows 98 to windows xp professional, the explorer program will not work at all. I don't mean internet explorer, I mean explorer, which I now know is the program that allows you to click on a desktop icon to start a program etc. My computer is a mess! Can anyone please help me? I would be most grateful, thank you, Bryan |

Explorer does not work after installing windows xp
Do you mean Windows Explorer? Right click on an icon and
select properties. Thee should be a path to the program related to the icon. There are buttons on the properties page, one of which is "find target" which will start a search to find the new location of the program so it can be opened. You may have had programs installed in non-standard locations and XP did not find them when you installed XP upgrade. If the find target doesn't work for you, you might consider other options to fix your problem. You can go to the Start/all programs menu, right click and drag programs to the desktop and select create shortcut. Remove the old shortcuts first just to avoid confusion.
